1
00:00:01.960 --> 00:00:06.280
Imagine you've spent your life saving up, working hard, and

2
00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:10.039
building a family. One fateful day, you decide to take

3
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:14.880
the plunge and purchase the home of your dreams. But

4
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:19.239
as you move in, you realize someone is watching you

5
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:23.399
and sending you letters with thinly veiled threats, and no

6
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:26.199
one can figure out who or why.

7
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:32.960
What you were about to beat spur to be you.

8
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:42.200
Based on witness accounts, testimonies, and public record, this is

9
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.799
terrifying and treat.

10
00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:57.600
For those who've seen the Watcher series on Netflix or

11
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:02.799
are true crime officionados themselves, it may seem like the

12
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:06.719
story of six point fifty seven Boulevard and the Watcher

13
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:13.120
is relatively benign compared to murderers and kidnappers. It may

14
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:16.719
seem like it's almost harmless fun. But as you listen

15
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:19.760
to today's show, I want you to really take a

16
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:24.640
moment and try to empathize with the plight of this family.

17
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:28.239
Take a moment to really consider how you would feel

18
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:34.840
if you were constantly receiving anonymous letters detailing your life,

19
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:38.920
where you go, when you go, and the lives of

20
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.159
your young children. Will be getting to all of that

21
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:58.200
after these quick words, Once upon a time in a

22
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:02.359
suburban neighborhood of Westfield, New Jersey, a stately home at

23
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:06.840
six fifty seven Boulevard became the scene of a peculiar

24
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:11.680
and chilling tale. It begins in June of twenty fourteen,

25
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.719
when the Brotus family, Derek and Maria, along with their

26
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:20.240
three young children, were on cloud nine, having just purchased

27
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:26.000
their dream home. Little did they know their dream was

28
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:31.360
about to morph into a nightmare. Shortly after the closing,

29
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:35.919
before the Brotus family even moved in, a letter arrived.

30
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:39.759
It wasn't a welcome note from the neighbors or a

31
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:44.039
misplaced pizza menu. No, it was the first of many

32
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:52.319
sinister communications from someone who called themselves the Watcher. This watcher,

33
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:55.400
who claimed to have been monitoring the house for decades,

34
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:58.840
was keen on letting the new occupants know that they

35
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:04.319
were being watched closely. The letters included details about the

36
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:09.800
broadest family that rattled them to their core, indicating surveillance

37
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:13.680
was so meticulous. It included mentions of their children's names

38
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:19.400
and hints about watching them play from the outset. The

39
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:23.759
Watcher revealed an intimate knowledge of the house and its surroundings.

40
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:28.000
In an unsettling display of awareness. Their first letter to

41
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:33.000
the Broadest's arrived merely two days following the house's sale closure.

42
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:37.479
This letter was not a welcoming gesture, but rather a

43
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:44.120
harbinger of the unnerving times ahead. The watcher lamented the

44
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:48.560
transformation the area had undergone due to new wealth, subtly

45
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:54.280
insinuating a long standing familiarity and possessiveness over six fifty

46
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:59.599
seven Boulevard. Their reminiscence of the nineteen sixties, a time

47
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:03.199
they aimed to wander through the house's rooms, imagining the

48
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:07.240
life within its walls, hinted at a disturbing level of

49
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:13.639
attachment and perhaps past physical presence inside the home. Although

50
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:17.079
the initial letter did not specifically name the Broadest family,

51
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:20.839
a follow up note eerily addressed them with a phonetic

52
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:26.879
distortion of their name as Bradus. More alarmingly, it accurately

53
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:30.399
mentioned the names of their three young children, listed in

54
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:35.800
the correct order of their birth. Such precise details underlined

55
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:40.680
the Watcher's meticulous surveillance, revealing they were privy to the

56
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:45.800
family's comings and goings. Their knowledge even extended to mundane

57
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:51.279
details like the family's vehicles, a Mercedes and a Honda minivan,

58
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:57.920
underscoring the depth of their observation. The correspondence from the

59
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:03.279
Watcher maintained a conce distant style. Envelopes marked with messy

60
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:09.240
handwriting contrasted with the typewritten contents inside. Each concluded with

61
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:13.879
a signature in a distinct cursive font different from the envelopes.

62
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:19.360
Addressing this choice of presentation, especially the shift in handwriting

63
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:22.560
for the signature, may have been an attempt to add

64
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:28.560
a personal, if unnerving touch to these communications. The Watcher's

65
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:33.120
communications took a noticeably more personal tone. In their third

66
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:38.199
and final letter of that summer, they expressed a peculiar

67
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:43.240
sense of longing, questioning the Broadess's apparent absence from the

68
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:47.240
house with quote, where have you gone to? Six point

69
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:51.639
fifty seven Boulevard is missing you? This statement, coupled with

70
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:56.920
previous messages, painted a picture of an individual deeply fixated

71
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:01.560
on the home, its occupants, and the lives unfolding within

72
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:06.399
its walls. This series of letters, beginning with a cryptic

73
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:11.079
introduction and escalating to direct acknowledgement of the Broadess's movements

74
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:16.839
and family details, encapsulates a haunting narrative of surveillance, obsession

75
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:21.079
and the unsettling reality that the family was being watched

76
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:26.839
by an unseen, unknown entity. In a twist fit for

77
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.079
a legal thriller, the Broadesses filed a lawsuit against the

78
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:33.759
previous owners, claiming they knew about the watcher but kept

79
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:38.279
silent during the sale. As the court case added layers

80
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:42.079
to the drama, no decisive evidence was found to prove

81
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:46.759
previous knowledge. The lawsuit fizzled out, much like many of

82
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:52.360
the lighthearted dreams the family once had. Meanwhile, the mystery

83
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:55.759
of the watcher's identity remained as stubborn as a decade's

84
00:06:55.759 --> 00:07:01.480
old bloodstain. Internet sleuth suggested theories, changing from a disgruntled

85
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:05.920
ex neighbor to a complete and utter hoax, but nothing

86
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:09.800
seemed to stick. The trail was as cold and gloomy

87
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:14.879
as a fog laden graveyard at midnight. By March of

88
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:19.120
twenty nineteen, an entire five years after the Broadest family

89
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.240
had made the substantial purchase of their dream home at

90
00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:25.160
six fifty seven Boulevard for a sum of over one

91
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:29.000
point three five million dollars, their lives had taken a

92
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:34.079
turn filled with dread and unease. As a result, they

93
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:39.959
made the difficult decision to sell the property. However, due

94
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:43.160
to the disturbing events that had unfolded, they had to

95
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:47.519
offer their once cherished home at a significantly reduced price,

96
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:53.120
asking for nine hundred and ninety nine thousand dollars. The

97
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:56.759
real estate listing tried to recapture the charm of the property,

98
00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:02.040
highlighting its unique allure and urging ptential buyers to experience

99
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:09.680
its quote endless character firsthand by visiting in person. Despite

100
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:12.879
their ordeal, the Broadesses held on to a faint hope

101
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:16.959
that perhaps a developer would see the property's potential and

102
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:23.319
choose to demolish the house, thus eradicating its eerie past. However,

103
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:28.279
that option never materialized. Instead, the house appealed to a

104
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.680
young family from the local area, willing to purchase it

105
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:35.559
at an even lower price of nine hundred and fifty

106
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:40.840
nine thousand dollars. This transaction marked a staggering loss for

107
00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:44.480
the Broadesss, not just because of the reduced sale price,

108
00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:49.440
but also when considering additional financial burdens they bore through

109
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:53.919
agent's fees and commissions. A familiar agent handled the sale,

110
00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:57.919
just as they had in twenty fourteen. Along with the

111
00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:01.720
one hundred thousand dollars they'd spent on property taxes, not

112
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:07.080
to mention other costs for utilities, home insurance, renovation contractors,

113
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:10.879
as well as the fees for lawyers and private investigators

114
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:15.960
they'd engage to unravel the mystery of the Watcher. As

115
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:19.879
the sale neared completion, Derek brought us sent an email

116
00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:24.679
that delineated his sixtieth mortgage installment of five four hundred

117
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.639
and ninety five dollars and thirteen cents, a stark reminder

118
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:32.240
of the financial strain for a home they felt compelled

119
00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:36.879
to leave uninhabited. With the closing date imminent, the Broadesses

120
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:41.120
made one last gesture. Through their real estate attorney, they

121
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.759
passed on a note to the new owners of six

122
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:47.159
point fifty seven Boulevard. It was a message filled with

123
00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:51.960
the Broadess's unresolved longing for tranquility, expressing their hopes that

124
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.759
the new owners would find the serenity that had eluded them.

125
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:02.639
Accompanying the note was a photograph displaying the watchers peculiar handwriting,

126
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:08.919
a precaution should the ominous letters resume to date, the

127
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:12.039
quiet that the Broadestes had yearned for seems to have

128
00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:16.399
settled over six fifty seven Boulevard. No new incidents or

129
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.559
letters have emerged, leaving the haunting saga of the Watcher

130
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:26.360
for the moment at a RESTful standstill. In the following years,

131
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:30.279
after purchasing their dream home, the Broadest family experienced a

132
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:33.679
level of anxiety and fear that drove them to eventually

133
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.000
sell their house at a loss. With the property sold,

134
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:42.519
they must have hoped for closure. However, questions and uncertainties

135
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:46.799
about the case of the Watcher remained, leading to further

136
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:52.440
attempts to investigate and find some resolution. When the mayor

137
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:56.039
of the town of Westfield spoke back in twenty fifteen,

138
00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:00.720
he had full confidence in the police investigation, assuring that

139
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:06.000
it was thorough and left no question unanswered. As time passed, however,

140
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:10.519
this confidence waned the police had not even spoken to

141
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:15.000
some of the nearest neighbors during their investigation. The Broadest

142
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:20.120
family sought additional help by hiring various professionals, a retired

143
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:24.039
New York Police Department officer, a forensic linguist, and a

144
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:28.279
former FBI agent. Their goal was to delve deeper into

145
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:33.399
the mystery. Unfortunately, the Westfield Police Department turned down their help,

146
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.039
and later on, when the town's police chief retired amongst

147
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:41.480
unrelated scandals. It cast further doubt on the thoroughness of

148
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:48.159
the investigation. Baron Chambliss, a former officer who reinvestigated the case,

149
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:53.679
was openly critical of the department's handling of it. Realizing

150
00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:56.840
the limitations, the case was turned over to the Union

151
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:01.480
County Prosecutor's office. They started anew which was a move

152
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:06.200
one might assume would bring fresh energy to solving the case. However,

153
00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:10.919
Vince Gagliardi, who was previously the chief of detectives, admitted

154
00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:13.919
that this type of case was not their usual focus,

155
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:18.480
being more accustomed to dealing with serious crimes like homicide

156
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:23.919
or financial fraud. Despite putting in considerable effort, without new

157
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:29.679
leads or evidence, the case ground to a halt. Then,

158
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:34.279
an article published about the strange events spurred the prosecutor's

159
00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:38.960
office to try something new. They found saliva on an

160
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:43.799
envelope believed to be from the watcher, which suggested a

161
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:48.679
female culprit. This led to an unorthodox request to collect

162
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:54.200
voluntary DNA samples from the local community. Most neighbors cooperated,

163
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:59.799
not wanting to appear guilty by declining. Unfortunately, none of

164
00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:03.840
these these samples matched the DNA gleaned from the envelope.

165
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:07.840
The Broadest Family was understandably desperate for more information and

166
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:12.159
continued to ask questions who had agreed to provide samples,

167
00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:15.919
which suspects had been eliminated due to the DNA not matching.

168
00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:20.720
The answers were not forthcoming, and it came to light

169
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:23.879
that some people hadn't been home when the DNA drive

170
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:28.080
was conducted, and a couple of individuals had outright refused

171
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:32.399
to participate, among them one close neighbor who was initially

172
00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:37.320
considered a suspect. Hoping for a breakthrough, the Broadest is

173
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:43.360
proposed using forensic genealogy, a new and somewhat controversial method

174
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:47.200
that uses DNA to trace an individual through their relatives.

175
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:51.559
This method has been used in various cold cases, with

176
00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:56.759
some researchers claiming a significant success rate, particularly among Americans

177
00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:01.919
of European descent. The prosecutors off however, declined to explore

178
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:06.360
this option, stating they hadn't used it before and prioritizing

179
00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:10.080
their resources on more violent and unsolved crimes was prudent.

180
00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:14.159
Despite the Broadest Family offering to cover the costs for

181
00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:18.559
the application of these genealogical forensics, to their case and others,

182
00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:24.639
The answer remain no, leaving them with a continuance of uncertainty.

183
00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:30.120
With an inactive yet unclosed case, The story of the

184
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:34.720
Watcher remains without a concluding chapter, the Broadest family enduring

185
00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:38.440
another setback in their quest for answers, and six fifty

186
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:43.879
seven Boulevards standing wrapped in an unresolved enigma as the

187
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:47.720
public and the family wonder if they will ever truly

188
00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:54.080
know who the Watcher is. Detectives believe the Watcher is

189
00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:58.399
likely someone older who lives close to six fifty seven Boulevard.

190
00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:04.519
Investigation centered around two neighboring families, but DNA tests didn't

191
00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:08.720
find a match. Without new evidence, the only hope now

192
00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:13.759
is for someone to confess, especially since some early suspects

193
00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:18.600
have passed away. Many wonder if the Broadest family made

194
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:22.039
it all up, but this theory doesn't quite make sense.

195
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:26.399
Maria broad Us appeared genuinely distressed and the ordeal brought

196
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:32.000
them significant anguish without any obvious benefit. Insinuations of a

197
00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:36.720
hoax don't align with their evident suffering. This brings about

198
00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:41.039
one last question that is very important. Is there any

199
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:45.840
interest left in the town about this case? Yes, and no.

200
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:50.320
Westfield itself has a bit of a reputation and an

201
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:54.960
eerie history. The John List murders from nineteen seventy one

202
00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:59.080
and the town's famous native Charles Adams, the creator of

203
00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:03.960
the Adams Family, mark Westfield's eerie legacy. This kind of

204
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:08.519
history influences how locals react to the ongoing mystery of

205
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:13.080
the Watcher. Some residents express genuine concern for the Broadest

206
00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:19.080
family and the nightmare they endured. However, this sentiment isn't universal,

207
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:23.480
as certain townspeople harbor negative feelings due to the widespread

208
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:28.639
attention the case has attracted, putting Westfield in an unwonted spotlight.

209
00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:33.799
There is a clear division in town. While some sympathize

210
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:37.919
with the Broadestes, others are doubtful of their story, suggesting

211
00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:41.559
that they might have fabricated the events for reasons unproven

212
00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:47.039
and unknown. Vince Gagliardi, a former investigator on the case

213
00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:51.440
now retired, has noticed a disheartening attitude within the community

214
00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:55.600
towards the Watcher saga. He shares a poignant moment that

215
00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:59.919
illustrates his concerns at a public event. An award winning

216
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:03.559
Gingerbread house modeled after the infamous six fifty seven Boulevard,

217
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:09.079
complete with references to the Watcher's letters, was showcased. This instance,

218
00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:11.599
along with a jest made by the new police chief

219
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:15.279
during his speech thanking Gagliardi while poking fun at the

220
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:19.200
unresolved case, highlighted a lack of serious regard for the

221
00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:24.920
family's ordeal by some in the community. Gagliardi's disappointment arises

222
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:27.720
not just from the office's inability to crack the case,

223
00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:32.519
but also from the mockery and insensitivity he perceives from

224
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:38.240
fellow citizens. He emphasizes the importance of empathy and solidarity

225
00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:42.359
within the town beyond the mere role of a detective.

226
00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:47.519
Decades on, the figure known as the Watcher remains a

227
00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:52.680
shadowy enigma. While many Westfield locals have gradually distanced themselves

228
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:56.240
from the chilling tale and resumed their daily lives, the

229
00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:01.200
story itself transforms into an urban legenden thrill for dare

230
00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:05.720
seeking teens to snap a picture at the notorious six

231
00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:09.400
p fifty seven Boulevard, and now with the release of

232
00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:13.559
The Watcher's Story on Netflix, a renewed wave of curiosity

233
00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:18.799
as awakened, enticing outsiders to delve into the unsettling details

234
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:25.720
of the case. Nevertheless, despite the theories andromatizations, the genuine

235
00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:29.599
identity of the ominous Watcher who once sent the broadest

236
00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:34.440
family into a spiral of fear remains hidden, leaving the

237
00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:40.599
question of their true intent unanswered. Terrifying and True is
